Causes Of Nervous Bulimia
It is difficult to pinpoint the precise cause of bulimia nervosa. Typically, dieting is the initial stage, followed by extreme and unhealthy weight control methods. Several variables are believed to be involved:
Body dissatisfaction is frequently influenced by often unrealistic social attitudes toward body image.
Bulimia is more prevalent in families with weight problems, physical and mental health issues, such as substance addiction or depression. Moreover, genes may be implicated.
Teens with bulimia frequently originate from stressed-out families with insufficient communication mechanisms, unrealistic expectations, and underdeveloped problem-solving skills.
A higher incidence of eating disorders is associated with lean sports or activities (e.g., running, ballet, or grappling) as well as sports that involve subjective evaluations (gymnastics, skating). [5]
Bulimia frequently co-occurs with anxiety disorders, affective (or mood) disorders, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) problems with substance addiction. In addition, they may be emotionally underdeveloped and dependent, isolating themselves from others.
